Valentine's day is an excuse to bring out the red, the revealing, the sparkly, the sultry ~ all at the same time. A red dress (like this figure-hugging Valentino) suggests a certain boldness but brought together with black La Perla lace and vintage-style backseam tights, hints of the seductive are playfully revealed.
Happy Valentine's Day Shopping!
Spring style is traditionally filled with soft silhouettes and fun flirtations and this year is no different...except for the added bonus of seeing edgy embellishments on sophisticated shoes.
Guiseppe Zanotti does the boot-meets-sandal-meets-stud approach with dramatic flair while Prada covers a classic black pump with round studs of varying sizes and Dolce & Gabbana transforms a ballet flat into a stud and sparkling crystal covered show-stopper.
Happy (edgy embellishment) Shopping!
We're excited to announce a new feature within our Look Editor tool: Now, not only can you upload your own images, you can also search the Getty Images database to add a new layer of flavor to your creations!
For example, I created this look using an image of Kate Moss from the Search Images tab:
Happy Creating!
PS ~ If you're new to creating Looks, here is a brief "how to" post.
People coming together to help others is a truly beautiful thing, which is why we're proud to report that Saks Fifth Avenue, one of our retail partners, hosted their annual Unforgettable Evening last night to benefit the EIF Women's Cancer Fund.
The list of celebrities in attendance was a long one ~ and not to imply that it was the most important part of the evening, but the red-carpet ensembles proved to be quite lovely and did their part to bring attention to a great cause.
Here's to unforgettable evenings (and spring evening wear from Saks)!
To help pull through the winter weather doldrums, we're quite pleased to present a colorful collection of Spring prints and patterns that are sure to bring a bit of brightness to your day.
Really, how could one not be completely delighted to strap on these Guiseppe Zanotti Strass Suede Caged Sandals with hand-applied multi-colored Swarovski crystals and beads? Lovely!
Our friends over at Net-A-Porter announced a contest today ~ they're giving away a $40,000 shopping spree!
So to test out how far $40,000 would really get us, we put together some New Arrivals for spring and were pleasantly surprised to see that, if we ordered each of the items below, we would only have spent just over half of the prize money.
Happy Shopspreeing!
Springtime style is proving to be feminine, adventurous, and layered with coquettish textures. Retailer Topshop heads us to the Wild West with this Saloon-inspired ensemble. (We're finding the dip dye fringe tunic and bolero jacket combo a sassy one!)
Happy Salooning!
We've officially entered rainy season here in California ~ and what does that mean exactly? It means that it's time to put our Christian Louboutin and Giuseppe Zanotti shoes in the tote bag to take along to work and that we can proudly bring our puddle splashers out to play!
From the fun and funky sneaker-inspired Dirty Laundry boots to the Buffalo Bone lace-ups from Chooka, here's a roundup of some of our favorite rain boots to take on those puddles in style.
Happy Splashing!
If you missed our latest weekly email, we thought you may enjoy a glimpse at the Pantone 2010 Color of the Year: Turquoise.
May your year be a colorful one ~ Happy Shopping!
As I was browsing ShopStyle for new pillows for my living room, I started thinking about our Home category and how fun it would be to design a room with all the great items I was discovering. By doing this, I could essentially test how the pieces would look in my own space. So I gave it a try and voila ~ a new addiction was born!
Here's how: Within "My Stylebook," click to create a "Look." Simply upload an image of an empty room then drag and drop items into the room to create your own interior designs. (One thing to note is that in the near future, the Look Editor tool will allow you to customize the product image by adjusting the angle, etc.). Once you've designed your room, then you can share the look with your friends via email, Facebook, and Twitter.
Happy Interior Designing & Shopping!
